a thousand nights lyrics

A thousand nights later memories linger
The good the bad...I can touch them with my finger
A thousand nights later I only got me
No problem, no complaints; It's the way it should be

Life was fast, It was free
Guess I've been lucky
Cause I'm still here...

But some friends are gone
Has it really been that long?
The memories are still so beautiful
When life's been unkind
Those friends are on my mind
Nothing's been greater here,
Nothing's been greater here
A thousand nights later

For some of them it's such a lonely thing
Haven't seen the future or luck life can bring
Their body dies while their soul defies to live
Haven't given all they'd like to give

Life is cruel, It is kind
Why is God calling them before their time?

But some friends are gone
Has it really been that long?
The memories are still so beautiful
When life's been unkind
Those friends are on my mind
Nothing's been greater here,
Nothing's been greater here
A thousand nights later

Can you see me from the sky?
Do you caress me when I cry?
Cause I know you're still with me for all eternity

But friends are gone
Has it really been that long?
The memories are still so beautiful
When life's been unkind
Those friends are on my mind
Nothing's been greater here,
Nothing's been greater here
A thousand nights later

Nothing feels greater here, Nothing feels greater here
A thousand nights later
